Style in Musical Art

THE following Chapters are for the most part
founded on Lectures delivered in accordance with the
regulations which prescribe the duties of the Professor
of Music of Oxford University.

The scheme was devised at the beginning of the
tenure of the Professorship in order to give continuity
and coherence to a series extending over many years.
But a breakdown in health, which was the result of
trying to keep too many lines of work in hand at
once, entailed the resignation of the Professorship
before the series was completed.

The present volume is intended to represent the
scheme in its entirety. In recognition of the fact that
the style that is fit for a lecture is not fit to be read,
the originals have been for the most part rewritten,
several lectures have been omitted as unnecessary in
the changed conditions, and chapters which cover the
ground originally planned have been added.
